starting problem
I have a 99 honda accord EX Manual. For some reason my car is having a hard
time starting up, I checked the battery its good. But it only had 40,000 miles on it. I just bought it about a week ago. This problem just started. And the car cranked over it would cut off. But after about 3 cranks its starts right up and runs fine. I dont think the guy did his tuneups, but its only at 40k, Should i run some slick50 through, or could it be the starter? |

But if it's never had a tune-up I would at least change the spark plugs. Cheap and easy to do yourself. -Dave |

Re: starting problem
heard that the ex's come with platium ngk plugs and last up to 100k, true?
where is the main relay located? I dont know if i said this but it kept trying to click over, so would that mean the starter is good? but like i said when it did click over it ran for about 3 sec then shut off?

Start, then quit, is one of the failure modes. The relay is under the driver's side dash. I've only worked on the one in my daughter's '93 LX, but in that one it was right above (and hidden by) the cruise control module - label identifying that big part.

If you just purchased the vehicle and don't know for sure whether or not the prior owner has done a tune-up--I would advise you to get a complete tune-up. Let the mechanic know about your problem and tell him to replace or repair the main relay. If you don't know any local mechanics, take it to the local Honda dealership. -- NEWSGROUP SUBSCRIBERS MOTTO We respect those subscribers that ask for advice or provide advice.

Re: starting problem
If it comes with the NGK platinum plugs and does not require a tune-up until
100k, then the fact this 40k vehicle never had a tune-up should be irrelevant. Check the owner's manual to find out if it came with these plugs.
